[Felvtalk] Cats as "property"

[Jane Gannon]

Last year I noticed that several of my cats had anisocoria (one pupil is 
larger that the other) and one of them was loosing weight.  I researched on 
line and found that this can happen in FELV+ cats.  I had them tested and 
they were all positive.  I have a large cat family and then had everyone 
tested, half were positve and half were negative.   I vacinated the 
negatives and have let them all live together.  After 6 months I had one 
negative retested and he was still negative.  In October I wrote to you that 
one of my young ones was lethagic, not eating and had a fever.  He ended up 
getting FIP and I had him euthanised last week.  HIs brother had to be 
euthanised in June.  He had  many problems, but in the end he had severe 
neurological problems and could no longer walk.  I have another one now that 
is loosing weight, his rbc count is getting lower but he is acting fine.  I 
want to know more info about Winstrol, my vet does not have a problem using 
it.  How long can a cat be on it and how long does it help?  Do I have to 
keep taking them in for blood tests?  How expensive is it?
